Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The price was right for a basic springer seat. What I got was a total disappointment. I build classic Schwinns and the leopard spot seat was the perfect touch to pimp out this particular build I am working on. First of all Shame on Amazon for not enough pictures of this product. I had to look online for images of the Electra seat which was a few dollars more. First of all plastic has no place in certain applications, one of them is the seat pan. That is the part of the seat that takes all the pounding. Who wants to have a seat post go up their ass one day because the plastic gave way which it ALWAYS DOES OVER TIME? The Nirve seat LOOKS nice but "under the hood" is a whole different matter. There are what they call "Air Bags" instead of springs and they have no value what so ever in shock absorbing. The padding of the seat is what absorbs the shocks the bike tires can't absorb. I wanted a Springer Seat. This seat is also about the same size as the seat I took off of my Micargi Tahiti LX and is the exact same construction which was why I removed the seat from that bike too and replaced it with a black Electra Springer seat with the handlebar on it! If you just need a cheap seat then this will do for you if you like the leopard spots. It is fuzzy but so is the Electra seat. You spend more on the Electra seat but it is a heavy seat and built much better than the Nirve product. I hated this seat so much I actually sent it back dissatisfied and actually a little bummed out that Amazon does not have a better gallery of pictures for these products to show us what they are made of and made like. This seat is totally unworthy of sitting atop a Schwinn of ANY FLAVOR! Nirve cut some drastic corners making this seat. It is only fit for a cheap bike, not classics, not quality bikes, and especially not bikes you want to last for years and years.
I may sound harsh on this review but the seat is flat out not worth the money they want for it. I can get the same type seat short of the leopard cover for $10 dollars new! $37 is WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS CHEAP MADE SEAT. Spend the extra few dollars and get the Electra seat! If it doesn't have springs it IS NOT A SUSPENSION SEAT! Airbags are BULL**** and they don't work!
